MINDFUL DRUM LESSONS
Playing the drums is not only physical, there is a big mental aspect to being a drummer, which is often missed in standard drum tuition. When you study at Al’s we’ll take time to look at this side of being a drummer and cater for it in each lesson.
UNIQUE APPROACH TO TEACHING
Our approach to teaching is unlike anything you may have seen before. We incorporate our experience of being professional drummers, we don’t simply open a drum book and say play this! Everything you’ll learn at Al’s will have context, meaning and experience running through it.
Alex has over 20 years experience as a professional musician and has dedicated his life to the art of drumming. Alex’s passion is deeply rooted in his musicality and creativity.
Chris has been playing the drums for 20 years and is known for his versatility, enthusiasm and creativity behind the kit.
